We actually have Link, Cuff under “Clothing—Accessory,” since it Chenhall’s is based on function. Cuff links actually serve a useful purpose. The decorative feature is quite often secondary.

Sincerely,

Subject: Nomenclature Question

Hi All,

I am trying to catalog a cuff link, but Chenhall’s doesn’t list cuff links anywhere. I was thinking it would fall under Adornment. Is there a related term to use? How would you catalog it?

Thanks Much,

Toni Kiser
